Pijpops Other models

The register lists 4 versions with 1,997 to 2,500 cc from four-cylinder engines, kerb weights of 2,101 to 2,970 kg at a gross vehicle weight of 2,800 to 3,500 kg, a length of 6,600 mm and widths of 1,770 to 2,300 mm.

Vehicles of this weight class serve as the basis for special bodies in trade and municipal services, where a gross vehicle weight of up to 3.5 t requires no additional licence in many countries. The spread of kerb and gross weight among the four versions shows different equipment stages of the same basic concept. Such chassis often end up with service companies and mobile workshops that need their own power supply and on-board tool storage rather than simple load space.

When buying these bodies, key points are the proper attachment to the chassis frame, corrosion at the connection points, and the condition and mileage of the engine, gearbox and brakes of the respective base vehicle. Spare parts for the drivetrain and running gear are supplied by the base vehicle's brand network; for the body itself, usually only the manufacturer Pijpops remains a source. It is also worth checking the wiring of the additional body equipment and the seals between cab and body section, since leaks here lead to corrosion inside the vehicle.
